A Healthy Approach to Fitness

Family Workout: Double Time

November 6, 2017

The first official family workout is finally here!! Tony Horton’s newest program, Double Time, was released and I am excited for this one! This partner workout is designed to keep families of all fitness levels active and healthy! You can do it with your kids, spouse, or even a friend! I love that Beachbody has moved into the direction of family fitness. Promoting and implementing healthy living as a family is so crucial for our future.

What is Double Time?

P90X trainer Tony Horton is back with an exciting and entirely new at-home fitness concept: working out with a partner! This program is designed to keep families of all fitness levels active. You and your spouse or a friend (or one of your own kids) will take on daily partner workouts and healthy eating for 30 days. Working with a partner gives you extra motivation and accountability to switch with the program, plus you get some bonding time while you get active! If you want to make this a family program with your kiddos, it is recommended for ages 8 and up; however, my 7 year old was just fine!

How long is the program?

Double Time is a 30-day program with total-body workouts (all 35 minutes or less) that feel more like play and less like work!

What equipment is required?

You will need the Double Time Buddy Ball, which is included in most packages.

Last month I had our local news on and saw a very disturbing statistic. Child Obesity is on the rise with approximately 74 MILLION boys and 50 MILLION girls in the US. That is CRAZY! I was so shocked that I actually took a picture of the TV screen! And while this may be a sore spot for some, I feel strongly (genetics aside) that healthy living starts with the parents. WE can control what our kids eat at home and what options they have! My girls were my main motivation to initiate this whole healthy living lifestyle change that I implemented 4 1/2 years ago. My kids are FAR from perfect when it comes to eating. Vegetables are always a fight. BUT, they do have a solid understanding of what it means to be healthy and to make healthy choices from what I have taught them and how I live.

When I first started incorporating daily exercise, I tried doing the 5:00am workouts before they would wake up. When that didn’t work out to well for me, I realized that having them watch and see me making that choice was more important. So, even at 2 and 3 years old, I’d do my workout with them in the room. Diaper changes and pausing may have happened, but once they adjusted, it was smooth sailing. They were no longer an EXCUSE and became my WHY.

SO many kids spend their evenings playing video games, watching TV, or just sitting around. Having a program that would not only get them active, but also allow parents and kids to spend quality time together is a win-win in my books.

Healthy choices start at home so why not try out a program that you can enjoy with the entire family?30 days18-32 minute workoutsSimple Nutrition Plan with family-friendly recipes ranging from Pumpkin Pancakes to Barbecue Chicken PizzaFamily bonding

No kids at home? No problem! While Double Time can be a family workout, it is designed as a PARTNER workout! So, you can grab a friend or significant other and get moving together!
